Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations--rather, "make disciples of all nations"; for "teaching," in the more usual sense of that word, comes in afterwards, and is expressed by a different term.
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost--It should be, "into the name"; as in Co1 10:2, "And were all baptized unto (or rather 'into') Moses"; and Gal 3:27, "For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Go ye therefore - "Because" all power is mine, go! I can defend you. The world is placed under my control. It is redeemed. It is given me in promise by my Father, as the purchase of my death. Though you are weak, yet I am strong! Though you will encounter many troubles and dangers, yet I can defend you! Though you die, yet I live, and the work shall be accomplished!
Teach all nations - The word rendered "teach," here, is not the one that is usually so translated in the New Testament. This word properly means "to disciple, or to make disciples of." This was to be done, however, by teaching, and by administering baptism.
All nations - This gracious commission was the foundation of their authority to go to the Gentiles. The Jews had expected that the offers of life under the Messiah would be confined to their own nation. Jesus broke down the partition wall, and commissioned his disciples to go everywhere, and bring the "world" to the knowledge of himself.
Baptizing them - as an emblem of the purifying influences of the Christian religion through the Holy Spirit, and solemnly devoting them to God.
In the name ... - This phrase does not mean, here, "by the authority" of the Father, etc. To be baptized in the name of the Father, etc., is the same as to be baptized "unto" the Father; as to believe on the "name" of Christ is the same as to believe "on Christ," Joh 1:12; Joh 2:23; Joh 3:18; Co1 1:13. To be baptized "unto" anyone is publicly to receive and adopt him as a religious teacher or lawgiver; to receive his system of religion. Thus, the Jews were baptized "unto Moses," Co1 10:2. That is, they received the system that he taught; they acknowledged him as their lawgiver and teacher. So Paul asks Co1 1:13, "Were ye baptized in the name of Paul?" - that is, Were you devoted to Paul by this rite? Did you bind yourselves to "him," and give yourselves away to "him," or to God? So to be baptized in the name of the Father, or unto the Father, means publicly, by a significant rite, to receive his system of religion; to bind the soul to obey his laws; to be devoted to him; to receive, as the guide and comforter of the life, his instructions, and to trust to his promises. To be baptized unto the Son, in like manner, is to receive him as the Messiah - our Prophet, Priest, and King - to submit to his laws, and to receive him as a Saviour. To be baptized unto the Holy Spirit is to receive him publicly as the Sanctifier, Comforter, and Guide of the soul. The meaning, then, may be thus expressed: Baptizing them unto the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit by a solemn profession of the only true religion, and by a solemn consecration to the service of the sacred Trinity.
The union of these three names in the form of baptism proves that the Son and Holy Spirit are equal with the Father. Nothing would be more absurd or blasphemous than to unite the name of a creature - a man or an angel - with the name of the ever-living God in this solemn rite. If Jesus was a mere man or an angel, as is held by many who deny his divinity, and if the Holy Spirit was a mere "attribute" of God, then it would have been the height of absurdity to use a form like this, or to direct the apostles to baptize people under them. How absurd would be the direction - nay, how blasphemous - to have said, "Baptize them unto God, and unto Paul, and unto the "wisdom or power" of God!" Can we believe that our Saviour would have given a direction so absurd as this? Yet, unless he himself is divine, and the Holy Spirit is divine, Jesus gave a direction substantially the same as this. The form of baptism, therefore, has been always regarded as an unbreakable argument for the doctrine of the Trinity, or that the Son and Holy Spirit are equal with the Father. |

Go
With the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ begins the "dispensation of the grace of God" (Eph 3:2); which is defined as "his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus"; and, "the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Eph 2:7-9); under grace God freely gives to the believing sinner eternal life (Rom 6:23) accounts to him a perfect righteousness; (Rom 3:21); (Rom 3:22); (Rom 4:4); (Rom 4:5) and accords to him a perfect position (Eph 1:6).
The predicted results of this sixth testing of man are
(1) the salvation of all who believe (Act 16:31).
(2) judgment upon an unbelieving world and an apostate church. (Mat 25:31-46); (Th2 1:7-10); (Pe1 4:17); (Pe1 4:18); (Rev 3:15); (Rev 3:16).
(1) Man's state at the beginning of the dispensation of Grace (Rom 3:19); (Gal 3:22); (Eph 2:11); (Eph 2:12).
(2) Man's responsibility under grace (Joh 1:11); (Joh 1:12); (Joh 3:36); (Joh 6:28); (Joh 6:29).
(3) His predicted failure (Mat 24:37-39); (Luk 18:8); (Luk 19:12-14).
(4) The judgment (Th2 2:7-12).
Name
The word is in the singular, the "name," not names. Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is the final name of the one true God. It affirms:
(1) That God is one.
(2) That He subsists in a personality which is threefold, indicated by relationship as Father and Son; by a mode of being as Spirit; and by the different parts taken by the Godhead in manifestation and in the work of redemption, for example (Joh 3:5); (Joh 3:6); (Spirit), (Joh 3:16); (Joh 3:17) (Father and Son). In; (Mat 3:16); (Mat 3:17); (Mar 1:10); (Mar 1:11); (Luk 3:21); (Luk 3:22); the three persons are in manifestation together.
(3) The conjunction in one name of the Three affirms equality and oneness of substance.

Teach (μαθητεύσατε)
Rev., rightly, make disciples of.
In the name (εἰς τὸ ὄνομα)
Rev., correctly, "into the name." Baptizing into the name has a twofold meaning. 1. Unto, denoting object or purpose, as εἰς μετάνοιαν, unto repentance (Mat 3:11); εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν, for the remission of sins (Act 2:38). 2. Into, denoting union or communion with, as Rom 6:3, "baptized into Christ Jesus; into his death;" i.e., we are brought by baptism into fellowship with his death. Baptizing into the name of the Holy Trinity implies a spiritual and mystical union with him. Eἰς, into, is the preposition commonly used with baptize. See Act 8:16; Act 19:3, Act 19:5; Co1 1:13, Co1 1:15; Co1 10:2; Gal 3:27. In Act 2:38, however, Peter says, "Be baptized upon (ἐπὶ) the name of Jesus Christ; and in Act 10:48, he commands Cornelius and his friends to be baptized in (ἐν) the name of the Lord. To be baptized upon the name is to be baptized on the confession of that which the name implies: on the ground of the name; so that the name Jesus, as the contents of the faith and confession, is the ground upon which the becoming baptized rests. In the name (ἐν) has reference to the sphere within which alone true baptism is accomplished. The name is not the mere designation, a sense which would give to the baptismal formula merely the force of a charm. The name, as in the Lord's Prayer ("Hallowed be thy name"), is the expression of the sum total of the divine Being: not his designation as God or Lord, but the formula in which all his attributes and characteristics are summed up. It is equivalent to his person. The finite mind can deal with him only through his name; but his name is of no avail detached from his nature. When one is baptized into the name of the Trinity, he professes to acknowledge and appropriate God in all that he is and in all that he does for man. He recognizes and depends upon God the Father as his Creator and Preserver; receives Jesus Christ as his only Mediator and Redeemer, and his pattern of life; and confesses the Holy Spirit as his Sanctifier and Comforter.

| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
Disciple all nations - Make them my disciples. This includes the whole design of Christ's commission. Baptizing and teaching are the two great branches of that general design. And these were to be determined by the circumstances of things; which made it necessary in baptizing adult Jews or heathens, to teach them before they were baptized; in discipling their children, to baptize them before they were taught; as the Jewish children in all ages were first circumcised, and after taught to do all God had commanded them. Mar 16:15.

| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Go ye therefore - Because I have the authority aforesaid, and can send whomsoever I will to do whatsoever I please: - teach, μαθητευσατε, make disciples of all nations, bring them to an acquaintance with God who bought them, and then baptize them in the name of the Father. It is natural to suppose that adults were the first subjects of baptism; for as the Gospel was, in a peculiar manner, sent to the Gentiles, they must hear and receive it, before they could be expected to renounce their old prejudices and idolatries, and come into the bonds of the Christian covenant. But, certainly, no argument can be drawn from this concession against the baptism of children. When the Gentiles and Jews had received the faith and blessings of the Gospel, it is natural enough to suppose they should wish to get their children incorporated with the visible Church of Christ; especially if, as many pious and learned men have believed, baptism succeeded to circumcision, which I think has never yet been disproved. The apostles knew well that the Jews not only circumcised the children of proselytes, but also baptized them; and as they now received a commission to teach and proselyte all the nations, and baptize them in the name of the holy Trinity, they must necessarily understand that infants were included: nor could they, the custom of their country being considered, have understood our Lord differently, unless he had, in the most express terms, said that they were not to baptize children, which neither he nor his apostles ever did. And as to the objection, that the baptized were obliged to profess their faith, and that, therefore, only adults should be baptized, there is no weight at all in it; because what is spoken of such refers to those who, only at that period of life, heard the Gospel, and were not born of parents who had been Christians; therefore they could not have been baptized into the Christian faith, forasmuch as no such faith was at their infancy preached in the world. That the children and even infants, of proselytes, were baptized among the Jews, and reputed, in consequence, clean, and partakers of the blessings of the covenant, see proved at large by Wetstein, in his note on Mat 3:16. - See the note on Mat 3:6, and particularly on Mar 16:16 (note).
In the name of the Father, etc. - Baptism, properly speaking, whether administered by dipping or sprinkling, signifies a full and eternal consecration of the person to the service and honor of that Being in whose name it is administered; but this consecration can never be made to a creature; therefore the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are not creatures. Again, baptism is not made in the name of a quality or attribute of the Divine nature; therefore the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, are not qualities or attributes of the Divine nature. The orthodox, as they are termed, have generally considered this text as a decisive proof of the doctrine of the holy Trinity: and what else can they draw from it? Is it possible for words to convey a plainer sense than these do? And do they not direct every reader to consider the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, as three distinct persons? "But this I can never believe." I cannot help that - you shall not be persecuted by me for differing from my opinion. I cannot go over to you; I must abide by what I believe to be the meaning of the Scriptures. Dr. Lightfoot has some good thoughts on this commission given to the apostles: -
"I. Christ commands them to go and baptize the nations: but how much time was past before such a journey was taken! And when the time was now come that this work should be begun, Peter doth not enter upon it without a previous admonition given him from heaven. And this was occasioned hereby, that, according to the command of Christ, the Gospel was first to be preached to Judea, Samaria, and Galilee.
"II. He commands them to baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; but among the Jews, they baptized only in the name of Jesus. See Act 2:38; Act 8:16; Act 19:5. For this reason, that thus the baptizers might assert, and the baptized confess, Jesus to be the true Messias; which was chiefly controverted by the Jews. Of the same nature is that apostolic blessing, Grace and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Where then is the Holy Ghost? He is not excluded, however he be not named. The Jews did more easily consent to the Spirit of the Messias, which they very much celebrate, than to the person of the Messias. Above all others they deny and abjure Jesus of Nazareth. It belonged to the apostles, therefore, the more earnestly to assert Jesus (to be the Messias) by how much the more vehemently they opposed him: which being once cleared, the acknowledging of the Spirit of Christ would be introduced without delay or scruple. Moses, (in Exo 6:14), going about to reckon up all the tribes of Israel, goes no farther than the tribe of Levi; and takes up with that to which his business and story at that present related. In like manner, the apostles, for the present, baptize in the name of Jesus, and bless in the name of the Father and of Jesus, that thereby they might more firmly establish the doctrine of Jesus, which met with such sharp and virulent opposition; which doctrine being established among them, they would soon agree about the Holy Ghost.
"III. Among the Jews, the controversy was about the true Messias; among the Gentiles, about the true God. It was therefore proper among the Jews to baptize in the name of Jesus, that he might be vindicated to be the true Messias. Among the Gentiles, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, that they might be hereby instructed in the doctrine of the true God. - Let this be particularly noted.
"IV. The Jews baptized proselytes into the name of the Father, that is, into the profession of God, whom they called by the name of Father. The apostles baptize the Jews into the name of Jesus the Son, and the Gentiles, into the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
"V. The Father hath revealed himself in the old covenant; the Son in the new; in human flesh by his miracles, doctrine, resurrection and ascension; the Holy Ghost in his gifts and miracles. Thus the doctrine of the ever blessed Trinity grew by degrees to full maturity. For the arriving to the acknowledgment of which, it was incumbent upon all who professed the true God to be three in one to be baptized into his name." Lightfoot's Works, vol. ii. p. 274. |
27 For [1063] as many of you as [3745] have been baptized [907] into [1519] Christ [5547] have put on [1746] Christ [5547].
2 And [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] unto [1519] Moses [3475] in [1722] the cloud [3507] and [2532] in [1722] the sea [2281];
13 Is [3307] Christ [5547] divided [3307]? [3361] was [4717] Paul [3972] crucified [4717] for [5228] you [5216]? or [2228] were ye baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of Paul [3972]?
2 And [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] unto [1519] Moses [3475] in [1722] the cloud [3507] and [2532] in [1722] the sea [2281];
13 Is [3307] Christ [5547] divided [3307]? [3361] was [4717] Paul [3972] crucified [4717] for [5228] you [5216]? or [2228] were ye baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of Paul [3972]?
18 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] him [846] is [2919] not [3756] condemned [2919]: but [1161] he that believeth [4100] not [3361] is condemned [2919] already [2235], because [3754] he hath [4100] not [3361] believed [4100] in [1519] the name [3686] of the only begotten [3439] Son [5207] of God [2316].
23 Now [1161] when [5613] he was [2258] in [1722] Jerusalem [2414] at [1722] the passover [3957], in [1722] the feast [1859] day, many [4183] believed [4100] in [1519] his [846] name [3686], when they saw [2334] the miracles [846] [4592] which [3739] he did [4160].
12 But [1161] as many as [3745] received [2983] him [846], to them [846] gave he [1325] power [1849] to become [1096] the sons [5043] of God [2316], even to them that believe [4100] on [1519] his [846] name [3686]:
8 But [235] ye shall receive [2983] power [1411], after that the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] is come [1904] upon [1909] you [5209]: and [2532] ye shall be [2071] witnesses [3144] unto me [3427] both [5037] in [1722] Jerusalem [2419], and [2532] in [1722] all [3956] Judaea [2449], and [2532] in Samaria [4540], and [2532] unto [2193] the uttermost part [2078] of the earth [1093].
48 And [1161] ye [5210] are [2075] witnesses [3144] of these things [5130].
47 And [2532] that repentance [3341] and [2532] remission [859] of sins [266] should be preached [2784] in [1909] his [846] name [3686] among [1519] all [3956] nations [1484], beginning [756] at [575] Jerusalem [2419].
16 He that believeth [4100] and [2532] is baptized [907] shall be saved [4982]; but [1161] he that believeth not [569] shall be damned [2632].
15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go ye [4198] into [1519] all [537] the world [2889], and preach [2784] the gospel [2098] to every [3956] creature [2937].
28 And [2532] Thomas [2381] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], My [3450] Lord [2962] and [2532] my [3450] God [2316].
4 And [2532] they were [4130] all [537] filled [4130] with the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] began [756] to speak with [2980] other [2087] tongues [1100], as [2531] the Spirit [4151] gave [1325] them [846] utterance [669].
1 In [1722] the beginning [746] was [2258] the Word [3056], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] with [4314] God [2316], and [2532] the Word [3056] was [2258] God [2316].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], there came [2064] a leper [3015] and worshipped [4352] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], if [1437] thou wilt [2309], thou canst [1410] make [2511] me [3165] clean [2511].
18 Then shall ye return [07725], and discern [07200] between the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563], between him that serveth [05647] God [0430] and him that serveth [05647] him not.
18 Then shall ye return [07725], and discern [07200] between the righteous [06662] and the wicked [07563], between him that serveth [05647] God [0430] and him that serveth [05647] him not.
3 And this [01931] man [0376] went up [05927] out of his city [05892] yearly [03117] [03117] to worship [07812] and to sacrifice [02076] unto the LORD [03068] of hosts [06635] in Shiloh [07887]. And the two [08147] sons [01121] of Eli [05941], Hophni [02652] and Phinehas [06372], the priests [03548] of the LORD [03068], were there.
33 And Abraham planted [05193] a grove [0815] in Beersheba [0884], and called [07121] there on the name [08034] of the LORD [03068], the everlasting [05769] God [0410].
1 And when Abram [087] was ninety [08673] [08141] years [08141] old [01121] and nine [08672], the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] to Abram [087], and said [0559] unto him, I am the Almighty [07706] God [0410]; walk [01980] before me [06440], and be thou perfect [08549].
2 And Abram [087] said [0559], Lord [0136] GOD [03069], what wilt thou give [05414] me, seeing I go [01980] childless [06185], and the steward [01121] [04943] of my house [01004] is this [01931] Eliezer [0461] of Damascus [01834]?
18 And Melchizedek [04442] king [04428] of Salem [08004] brought forth [03318] bread [03899] and wine [03196]: and he was the priest [03548] of the most high [05945] God [0410].
4 These [0428] are the generations [08435] of the heavens [08064] and of the earth [0776] when they were created [01254], in the day [03117] that the LORD [03068] God [0430] made [06213] the earth [0776] and the heavens [08064],
1 In the beginning [07225] God [0430] created [01254] [0853] the heaven [08064] and [0853] the earth [0776].
22 And [2532] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151] descended [2597] in a bodily [4984] shape [1491] like [5616] a dove [4058] upon [1909] him [846], and [2532] a voice [5456] came [1096] from [1537] heaven [3772], which said [3004], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207]; in [1722] thee [4671] I am well pleased [2106].
21 Now [1161] when all [537] the people [2992] were baptized [1722] [907], it came to pass [1096], that Jesus [2424] also [2532] being baptized [907], and [2532] praying [4336], the heaven [3772] was opened [455],
11 And [2532] there came [1096] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying, Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106].
10 And [2532] straightway [2112] coming up [305] out of [575] the water [5204], he saw [1492] the heavens [3772] opened [4977], and [2532] the Spirit [4151] like [5616] a dove [4058] descending [2597] upon [1909] him [846]:
17 And [2532] lo [2400] a voice [5456] from [1537] heaven [3772], saying [3004], This [3778] is [2076] my [3450] beloved [27] Son [5207], in [1722] whom [3739] I am well pleased [2106].
16 And [2532] Jesus [2424], when he was baptized [907], went up [305] straightway [2117] out of [575] the water [5204]: and [2532], lo [2400], the heavens [3772] were opened [455] unto him [846], and [2532] he saw [1492] the Spirit [4151] of God [2316] descending [2597] like [5616] a dove [4058], and [2532] lighting [2064] upon [1909] him [846]:
17 For [1063] God [2316] sent [649] not [3756] his [846] Son [5207] into [1519] the world [2889] to [2443] condemn [2919] the world [2889]; but [235] that [2443] the world [2889] through [1223] him [846] might be saved [4982].
16 For [1063] God [2316] so [3779] loved [25] the world [2889], that [5620] he gave [1325] his [846] only begotten [3439] Son [5207], that [2443] whosoever [3956] believeth [4100] in [1519] him [846] should [622] not [3361] perish [622], but [235] have [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222].
6 That which is born [1080] of [1537] the flesh [4561] is [2076] flesh [4561]; and [2532] that which is born [1080] of [1537] the Spirit [4151] is [2076] spirit [4151].
5 Jesus [2424] answered [611], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto thee [4671], Except [3362] a man [5100] be born [1080] of [1537] water [5204] and [2532] of the Spirit [4151], he cannot [3756] [1410] enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316].
7 For [1063] the mystery [3466] of iniquity [458] doth [1754] already [2235] work [1754]: only [3440] he who now [737] letteth [2722] will let, until [2193] he be taken [1096] out of [1537] the way [3319].
8 And [2532] then [5119] shall [601] that Wicked [459] be revealed [601], whom [3739] the Lord [2962] shall consume [355] with the spirit [4151] of his [846] mouth [4750], and [2532] shall destroy [2673] with the brightness [2015] of his [846] coming [3952]:
9 Even him, whose [3739] coming [3952] is [2076] after [2596] the working [1753] of Satan [4567] with [1722] all [3956] power [1411] and [2532] signs [4592] and [2532] lying [5579] wonders [5059],
10 And [2532] with [1722] all [3956] deceivableness [539] of unrighteousness [93] in [1722] them that perish [622]; because [473] [3739] they received [1209] not [3756] the love [26] of the truth [225], that [1519] they [846] might be saved [4982].
11 And [2532] for this [5124] cause [1223] God [2316] shall send [3992] them [846] strong [1753] delusion [4106], that [1519] they [846] should believe [4100] a lie [5579]:
12 That [2443] they all [3956] might be damned [2919] who [3588] believed [4100] not [3361] the truth [225], but [235] had pleasure [2106] in [1722] unrighteousness [93].
12 He said [2036] therefore [3767], A certain [5100] nobleman [444] [2104] went [4198] into [1519] a far [3117] country [5561] to receive [2983] for himself [1438] a kingdom [932], and [2532] to return [5290].
13 And [1161] he called [2564] his [1438] ten [1176] servants [1401], and delivered [1325] them [846] ten [1176] pounds [3414], and [2532] said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Occupy [4231] till [2193] I come [2064].
14 But [1161] his [846] citizens [4177] hated [3404] him [846], and [2532] sent [649] a message [4242] after [3694] him [846], saying [3004], We will [2309] not [3756] have [2309] this [5126] man to reign [936] over [1909] us [2248].
8 I tell [3004] you [5213] that [3754] he will [4160] avenge [1557] them [846] speedily [5034] [1722]. Nevertheless [4133] when [687] the Son [5207] of man [444] cometh [2064], shall he find [2147] faith [4102] on [1909] the earth [1093]?
37 But [1161] as [5618] the days [2250] of Noe [3575] were, so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071].
38 For [1063] as [5618] in [1722] the days [2250] that were [2258] before [4253] the flood [2627] they were eating [5176] and [2532] drinking [4095], marrying [1060] and [2532] giving in marriage [1547], until [891] the day [2250] that [3739] Noe [3575] entered [1525] into [1519] the ark [2787],
39 And [2532] knew [1097] not [3756] until [2193] the flood [2627] came [2064], and [2532] took [142] them all [537] away [142]; so [3779] shall [2071] also [2532] the coming [3952] of the Son [5207] of man [444] be [2071].
29 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], This [5124] is [2076] the work [2041] of God [2316], that [2443] ye believe [4100] on [1519] him [3739] whom [1565] he hath sent [649].
28 Then [3767] said they [2036] unto [4314] him [846], What [5101] shall we do [4160] [4160], that [2443] we might work [2038] the works [2041] of God [2316]?
36 He that believeth [4100] on [1519] the Son [5207] hath [2192] everlasting [166] life [2222]: and [1161] he that believeth not [544] the Son [5207] shall [3700] not [3756] see [3700] life [2222]; but [235] the wrath [3709] of God [2316] abideth [3306] on [1909] him [846].
12 But [1161] as many as [3745] received [2983] him [846], to them [846] gave he [1325] power [1849] to become [1096] the sons [5043] of God [2316], even to them that believe [4100] on [1519] his [846] name [3686]:
11 He came [2064] unto [1519] his own [2398], and [2532] his own [2398] received [3880] him [846] not [3756].
12 That [3754] at [1722] that [1565] time [2540] ye were [2258] without [5565] Christ [5547], being aliens [526] from the commonwealth [4174] of Israel [2474], and [2532] strangers [3581] from the covenants [1242] of promise [1860], having [2192] no [3361] hope [1680], and [2532] without God [112] in [1722] the world [2889]:
11 Wherefore [1352] remember [3421], that [3754] ye [5210] being in time past [4218] Gentiles [1484] in [1722] the flesh [4561], who [3588] are called [3004] Uncircumcision [203] by [5259] that which [3588] is called [3004] the Circumcision [4061] in [1722] the flesh [4561] made by hands [5499];
22 But [235] the scripture [1124] hath concluded [4788] all [3956] under [5259] sin [266], that [2443] the promise [1860] by [1537] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] might be given [1325] to them that believe [4100].
19 Now [1161] we know [1492] that [3754] what things soever [3745] the law [3551] saith [3004], it saith [2980] to them who are under [1722] the law [3551]: that [2443] every [3956] mouth [4750] may be stopped [5420], and [2532] all [3956] the world [2889] may become [1096] guilty [5267] before God [2316].
16 So [3779] then because [3754] thou art [1488] lukewarm [5513], and [2532] neither [3777] cold [5593] nor [3777] hot [2200], I will [3195] spue [1692] thee [4571] out of [1537] my [3450] mouth [4750].
15 I know [1492] thy [4675] works [2041], that [3754] thou art [1488] neither [3777] cold [5593] nor [3777] hot [2200]: I would [3785] thou wert [1498] cold [5593] or [2228] hot [2200].
18 And [2532] if [1487] the righteous [1342] scarcely [3433] be saved [4982], where [4226] shall [5316] the ungodly [765] and [2532] the sinner [268] appear [5316]?
17 For [3754] the time [2540] is come that judgment [2917] must begin [756] at [575] the house [3624] of God [2316]: and [1161] if [1487] it first [4412] begin at [575] us [2257], what [5101] shall the end [5056] be of them that obey not [544] the gospel [2098] of God [2316]?
7 And [2532] to you [5213] who are troubled [2346] rest [425] with [3326] us [2257], when [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] shall be revealed [602] from [575] heaven [3772] with [3326] his [846] mighty [1411] angels [32],
8 In [1722] flaming [5395] fire [4442] taking [1325] vengeance [1557] on them that know [1492] not [3361] God [2316], and [2532] that obey [5219] not [3361] the gospel [2098] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]:
9 Who [3748] shall be punished [1349] [5099] with everlasting [166] destruction [3639] from [575] the presence [4383] of the Lord [2962], and [2532] from [575] the glory [1391] of his [846] power [2479];
10 When [3752] he shall come [2064] to be glorified [1740] in [1722] his [846] saints [40], and [2532] to be admired [2296] in [1722] all [3956] them that believe [4100] (because [3754] our [2257] testimony [3142] among [1909] you [5209] was believed [4100] in [1722] that [1565] day [2250].
31 When [1161] [3752] the Son [5207] of man [444] shall come [2064] in [1722] his [846] glory [1391], and [2532] all [3956] the holy [40] angels [32] with [3326] him [846], then [5119] shall he sit [2523] upon [1909] the throne [2362] of his [846] glory [1391]:
32 And [2532] before [1715] him [846] shall be gathered [4863] all [3956] nations [1484]: and [2532] he shall separate [873] them [846] one [240] from [575] another [240], as [5618] a shepherd [4166] divideth [873] his sheep [4263] from [575] the goats [2056]:
33 And [2532] he shall set [2476] [3303] the sheep [4263] on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], but [1161] the goats [2055] on [1537] the left [2176].
34 Then [5119] shall the King [935] say [2046] unto them on [1537] his [846] right hand [1188], Come [1205], ye blessed [2127] of my [3450] Father [3962], inherit [2816] the kingdom [932] prepared [2090] for you [5213] from [575] the foundation [2602] of the world [2889]:
35 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] drink [4222]: I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] in [4863]:
36 Naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165]: I was sick [770], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165]: I was [2252] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye came [2064] unto [4314] me [3165].
37 Then [5119] shall the righteous [1342] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], and [2532] fed [5142] thee? or [2228] thirsty [1372], and [2532] gave thee drink [4222]?
38 [1161] When [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] a stranger [3581], and [2532] took thee in [4863]? or [2228] naked [1131], and [2532] clothed [4016] thee?
39 [1161] Or when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] came [2064] unto [4314] thee [4571]?
40 And [2532] the King [935] shall answer [611] and say [2046] unto them [846], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye have done [4160] it unto one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130] my [3450] brethren [80], ye have done [4160] it unto me [1698].
41 Then [5119] shall he say [2046] also [2532] unto them on [1537] the left hand [2176], Depart [4198] from [575] me [1700], ye cursed [2672], into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442], prepared [2090] for the devil [1228] and [2532] his [846] angels [32]:
42 For [1063] I was an hungred [3983], and [2532] ye gave [1325] me [3427] no [3756] meat [5315]: I was thirsty [1372], and [2532] ye gave [4222] me [3165] no [3756] drink [4222]:
43 I was [2252] a stranger [3581], and [2532] ye took [4863] me [3165] not [3756] in [4863]: naked [1131], and [2532] ye clothed [4016] me [3165] not [3756]: sick [772], and [2532] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] ye visited [1980] me [3165] not [3756].
44 Then [5119] shall they [846] also [2532] answer [611] him [846], saying [3004], Lord [2962], when [4219] saw we [1492] thee [4571] an hungred [3983], or [2228] athirst [1372], or [2228] a stranger [3581], or [2228] naked [1131], or [2228] sick [772], or [2228] in [1722] prison [5438], and [2532] did [1247] not [3756] minister [1247] unto thee [4671]?
45 Then [5119] shall he answer [611] them [846], saying [3004], Verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], Inasmuch [1909] as [3745] ye did [4160] it not [3756] to one [1520] of the least [1646] of these [5130], ye did [4160] it not [3761] to me [1698].
46 And [2532] these [3778] shall go away [565] into [1519] everlasting [166] punishment [2851]: but [1161] the righteous [1342] into [1519] life [2222] eternal [166].
31 And [1161] they said [2036], Believe [4100] on [1909] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], and [2532] thou [4771] shalt be saved [4982], and [2532] thy [4675] house [3624].
6 To [1519] the praise [1868] of the glory [1391] of his [846] grace [5485], wherein [1722] [3739] he hath made [5487] us [2248] accepted [5487] in [1722] the beloved [25].
5 But [1161] to him that worketh [2038] not [3361], but [1161] believeth [4100] on [1909] him that justifieth [1344] the ungodly [765], his [846] faith [4102] is counted [3049] for [1519] righteousness [1343].
4 Now [1161] to him that worketh [2038] is [3049] the reward [3408] not [3756] reckoned [3049] of [2596] grace [5485], but [235] of [2596] debt [3783].
22 Even [1161] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] which is by [1223] faith [4102] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] unto [1519] all [3956] and [2532] upon [1909] all [3956] them that believe [4100]: for [1063] there is [2076] no [3756] difference [1293]:
21 But [1161] now [3570] the righteousness [1343] of God [2316] without [5565] the law [3551] is manifested [5319], being witnessed [3140] by [5259] the law [3551] and [2532] the prophets [4396];
23 For [1063] the wages [3800] of sin [266] is death [2288]; but [1161] the gift [5486] of God [2316] is eternal [166] life [2222] through [1722] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] our [2257] Lord [2962].
7 That [2443] in [1722] the ages [165] to come [1904] he might shew [1731] the exceeding [5235] riches [4149] of his [846] grace [5485] in [1722] his kindness [5544] toward [1909] us [2248] through [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424].
8 For [1063] by grace [5485] are ye [2075] saved [4982] through [1223] faith [4102]; and [2532] that [5124] not [3756] of [1537] yourselves [5216]: it is the gift [1435] of God [2316]:
9 Not [3756] of [1537] works [2041], lest [3363] any man [5100] should boast [2744].
2 If [1489] ye have heard [191] of the dispensation [3622] of the grace [5485] of God [2316] which [3588] is given [1325] me [3427] to [1519] you-ward [5209]:
48 And [5037] he commanded [4367] them [846] to be baptized [907] in [1722] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962]. Then [5119] prayed they [2065] him [846] to tarry [1961] certain [5100] days [2250].
38 Then [1161] Peter [4074] said [5346] unto [4314] them [846], Repent [3340], and [2532] be baptized [907] every one [1538] of you [5216] in [1909] the name [3686] of Jesus [2424] Christ [5547] for [1519] the remission [859] of sins [266], and [2532] ye shall receive [2983] the gift [1431] of the Holy [40] Ghost [4151].
27 For [1063] as many of you as [3745] have been baptized [907] into [1519] Christ [5547] have put on [1746] Christ [5547].
2 And [2532] were [907] all [3956] baptized [907] unto [1519] Moses [3475] in [1722] the cloud [3507] and [2532] in [1722] the sea [2281];
15 Lest [3363] any [5100] should say [2036] that [3754] I had baptized [907] in [1519] mine own [1699] name [3686].
13 Is [3307] Christ [5547] divided [3307]? [3361] was [4717] Paul [3972] crucified [4717] for [5228] you [5216]? or [2228] were ye baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of Paul [3972]?
5 When [1161] they heard [191] this, they were baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].
3 And [5037] he said [2036] unto [4314] them [846], Unto [1519] what [5101] then [3767] were ye baptized [907]? And [1161] they said [2036], Unto [1519] John's [2491] baptism [908].

11 I [1473] indeed [3303] baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] water [5204] unto [1519] repentance [3341]: but [1161] he that cometh [2064] after [3694] me [3450] is [2076] mightier than [2478] I [3450], whose [3739] shoes [5266] I am [1510] not [3756] worthy [2425] to bear [941]: he [846] shall baptize [907] you [5209] with [1722] the Holy [40] Ghost [4151], and [2532] with fire [4442]:
15 And [2532] he said [2036] unto them [846], Go ye [4198] into [1519] all [537] the world [2889], and preach [2784] the gospel [2098] to every [3956] creature [2937].

16 (For [1063] as yet [3768] he was [2258] fallen [1968] upon [1909] none [3762] of them [846]: only [3440] [1161] they were [5225] baptized [907] in [1519] the name [3686] of the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].)
